DDP always struck me as a legitimate good stand up dude.
Says he doesn't have respect for flair
Still has something good to say about him.
More proof that DDP's one of the nicest guys in the business.
oneyeseesin3D this. Dallas is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. And I think they must be on good terms today. I went to Dallas’ birthday party a few years ago and Flair was there.
I don't really recall anyone in the wrestling business having anything bad to say about DDP
You can still complement aspects of people while not respecting them.
@@svaughan41 shit brother how come I didn't see you there?
No one has anything bad to say about DDP so his words have merit.
I met DDP at venice beach...The nicest celebrity I've ever met...great guy
Charles Smith He needs to know his role and shut his fucking mouth
@Black Belt Jones fuck you you sheep
“Celebrity”
i wana meet DDP i am a DDP fan huge fan🙌💎💥
Is DDP underrated? I always really liked him in WCW
Unfortunately yes 😭😢
Way underrated. Love that man to God and back. He saved a lot of wrestlers lives. Jake the snake, Scott Hall etc
People forget that DDP was also an underrated manager.
People are rated accordingly.
I bartended at Tattle Tales in Tampa back in the 80's, and I lost count how many times Ric Flair skipped out on his check.. I heard around rown he was like that everywhere..
i can't judge someone on their personal life when i do not know them, but what i gather from people who know flair personally is that some guys like him and some guys don't.
Damn... I kinda liked The Nature Boy, but if DDP doesn't respect you, there's something to that.
james martin The Nature Boy was a great wrestler and the 7th NWA champion, he was in great shape even in his old age, gotta respect The Nature Boy Buddy Rogers
Flair fucks everyone over. I can’t stand how overrated he is
Truth is he is an entitled ass who thinks Becky lynch who had an awful man gimmick but still he thinks that’s his name. Get over yourself I know HHH has built his confidence with statues and ceremonies and two big inductions and 85 DVD sets but get over yourself flair you were a NWA guy
@@MixerMadness there is nothing wrong in being an nwa guy
Better be respected as a person than as a wrestler! DDP is respected all around by all his peers for being a Class Act human being!
when the most positive guys who never said annything bad about others like DDP and bruno sammartino, badmouth ric i believe them 100%
If DDp trashed someone you know the person is jerk .DDp rarely trashes anyone . No one has respect for flair the person. in fact Scott stiener said flair had his friends In booking that why he won 16 time .Scott said flair never draw in NWA and WCW . He said they have to give out free tickets to flair PPV events to make it look good
First time I head DDP actually shoot instead of saying "I'm gonna take the high road" and leaving at that.
I have met Ric and he was very nice. I was backstage with him, Bock, Flyin' Brian... Ric was a great showman.
Thank you DDP, sick of how much respect that fucker gets for no good reason.
BizzyIzzy87 Ric embodies what it is to be a professional wrestler. He lived his gimmick, his gimmick is his life. He sacrificed his family for his gimmick - all he wanted to do and be was Ric Flair. Everything he was, everything he has been, is and will be is because of wrestling. I don't believe Ric as a person would be a very nice person to be around all of the time and I also believe that because of his longevity and his sense of entitlement - he felt that when he said "he can't make it" "he's not a good worker" that it was true. You look at Ric and what you see is a man who has aged with time and I think he's become more accepting of his flaws and weaknesses and he has accepted the fact that the legend of Ric Flair didn't happen by his own design. He took the idea from Buddy Rogers and made it so much more than what it was. Everything about Buddy Rogers - was transitioned into Ric. Now people look at Ric, like Ric looked at Buddy.
I'm a firm believer in become indespensible at what you do, if you can become that and you enjoy what you do - you're laughing every day of your life. Ric did that. He gave you the performance of a lifetime and he did so at a tremendous cost. No other performer in wrestling has given that much of themselves that they've actually lost who they are and liked the person they play so much better. He embodies wrestling. He had a huge half of fame induction ceremony the longest one there has ever been, he was given a farewell party that may only ever be duplicated for The Undertaker and possibly Triple H in the many years to come. He's had 16 world title wins, second cumulative longest time as a world champion than anyone in history. Sammartino had 2 world title runs in the biggest promotion in wrestling. Ric had 16 in various different promotions and his name was virtually synonymous with wrestling before he entered WWE and I think you have to respect that.
I have never agreed with his lack of loyalty and his infidelity and also his inability to separate the man from the performer. I think he was very self-involved in those days and if he wanted to be that self-involved he shouldn't have had children and he shouldn't have gotten married because you can't have both. He's not the most gifted wrestler and his routine is stiff, always has been. His promo ability is what sold him - it's what put asses in seats and you knew where you stood with a Ric Flair match. There was predictability there and maybe that comforted some and annoyed others.
Scott Hall has a shoot on Flair too
ric had the best career ever
For no good reason,flair was the traveling nwa world champion something I don't think any of today's wrestlers could do
I grew up watching Flair in Mid-Atlantic. He was a heel, I was in grammar school and I hated him so much- that is why I respect him so much today. He was wrestling. History will be the judge- and it's already revealing Hogan for the piece of shit he always was.
Have to disagree with you there. I live in northern Europe and knew Hogan as a child from NES game covers. Outside of the United States nobody had a clue who the hell Ric Flair was. The only men known outside of the US are Dwayne Johnson, Steve Austin, Hogan and to a lesser extent Cena and a few others.
MidAtlantic ran from 1970-86. I watched Flair when NES were only letters of the alphabet, there were only 3 channels on the TV (which had one knob each for UHF and VHF), and Flair carried the torch for professional wrestling in the southeast. I've not watched wrestling in years- I'm familiar with Johnson and Austin- two of the greatest performers in the sport. Even when they were heels, people loved them. Census came along after I stopped following the sport.
I'm glad they are famous all over the world and have video game endorsements. However, I am a little confused as to how why that criteria would be used to rate their wrestling abilities. I do not see a relationship.
I did hear that Hogan has a home video out now of him banging his friend's wife. That was a brilliant idea, especially taping it.
BTW- I've lived (and currently live) outside the US for most of my adult life. All of the wrestling I've seen in the last 2 decades has been on foreign channels. Hogan is till a turd.
Pro-wrestling is not a sport; it's performance art though that's not the point of this discussion.
As far as global visibility and impact is concerned Flair is like a pimple on Hogan's buttock; to hardcore wrestling fans pro-wrestling is a lot more than Hogan, Andre the Giant or the Ultimate Warrior; it's all sorts of mid-carders, indy champs and guys who fell by the wayside before making it big but the public perception of wrestling is shaped by the dazzling few, who have cultural impact beyond the ring.
. Mass medias were still primitive back in the territorial days when Flair was in his prime. The standards were a lot lower just like they were in real sports and that's why guys like Lawler and Flair managed to secure their spots despite looking like the average Joe down the street. Once you secure that spot, you're set. It's just like comparing the job market of the 70's and the situation today's millennials are in; back then you would simply walk into a decent job after getting your degree out (not that you needed one necessarily) but today's uni educated youths are scraping for menial jobs and have no certainty of being able to start to a family.
DancerInTheHeart - you have the right to your opinion. I was merely stating mine. I guess since I grew up during the days of "primitive" mass media, I appreciate the guys from that era.
It was merely my opinion, based on my personal, eyewitness accounts of going to see people like Flair, Greg Valentine, Iron Shiek, Ivan Kolaff, Black Jack Mulligan, Wahoo McDaniel....just to name a few, step in the ring and perform. I really enjoyed it back then- it was fun.
Sport, performance art, soap opera on steroids- it's all semantics. It's just entertainment and people have opinions on who they like.
Jobs were hard to get in the 70's too. In fact, I know of no generation that was guaranteed of the future ability to start a family. Life is hard. Those wrestlers back in those days were not getting rich- many had second jobs. Johnny Weaver was a deputy in NC at the same time he held a championship belt.
This coming from D.D.P says a lot. I believe him. He's not a shit talker and unlike a lot of guys on here that watch what they say because of it, he don't want anything from the wrestling world
Ddp you the man
DDP my favorite wrestler ever. Piper #2.
now this is a controversial wrestling shoot
DDP has helped many down wrestlers he saved Jake the snakes life and got Scott Hall clean and sober Yes he is a very good wrestler and person I hope him and Ric can come to terms.
Watch Ric Flair in his near retirement years 2005,2006,2007, he had some very hardcore matches at whatever age he was then
that right there alone deserves respect
Better than you still wasn't as good as Terry Funk.
Better than you I am better than YOU
I remember DDP cutting a promo on Ric Flair sometime around 1999 and sensing actual hatred in what he was saying.
Flair loves to trade chest slaps and strut like a rooster & he falls down with spasm animations, Flair and Jericho should if they would have been the same age would have been perfect for each other as a tag team. They could backstab each other, chest slap and make up repeat..
Alicia Cyberstone don't forget the leg straight out, spin around and fall after taking the chair shot.
Flair country whooooooo
my shoes cost more than flairs studio apartment wooooo
I have never seen ric body slam anyone . Has anyone seen him body slam some one his own size or bigger
Come back when you're in a Wrestlemania match at 59 years of age and delivering vertical suplexes.
woooooooooooooooooo G.O.A.T
DDP overall is so much better then Flair. He was actually able to move beyond wrestling as well as help others.
DDP does think Flair appreciates the potential of a wrestler in his late 30s? Flair's finest work came in his late 30 and early 40s.
What did DDP say at 1:52?
RIC Flair went from a class guy to a lowlife.
spectrumlocalb191 that's karma
Ric was ALWAYS a lowlife lol.
nah he went from a lowlife to pretending to being a classy guy to pretending to be a lowlife that pretends to be a classy guy.
The continuing saga of grown men talking about each other like a bunch of high school girls.
cb2k761 alot of jealously went on in pro wrestling. You hear it all the time in these interviews. Of course they never admit to being jealous. That's why so many guys talk shit about Hogan. they all wish they made it to his level.
cb2k761 lol
Welcome to Wrestling.
It's been that way since forever LOL. Nothing new here.
+cb2k761 and the grown men that comment on it Mr. Holier Than Thou
ric has buried so many wrestlers.
Rick flair the gimick , same thing night after night , same moves in the same order , DDP quality human . flair was not , hell of a partier though
And doing full hour Broadways in a different town every night for 30 years….. party till 5 am travel, work out like a savage in hotel in AM hung over and do it again in front of packed house for 30 years. Getting the living shit beat out of him every night. After surviving the plane crash with a bad back. People can talk all the shit they want and it’s easy to hate Flair the flawed human but Rick Flair was a damn animal and the greatest most reliable mentally tough performer in history of the game. He also created the promo that everyone copies and always will.
has anybody ever spoken well of Flair? seems nobody likes him.
Crimson_Ghost Well you hear shit about almost every Legend.
Hogan, Flair, Bret Hart, Warrior, John Cena, Cm Punk, HHH or Randy Savage
Cm Savage
Well you don’t get to the top without sabotaging or killing someone thats for sure.
@@watersandblue6001 i never heard anything bad about rock .
The audio sucks on these videos
He looks upset in the pic.
Nicholas Mobassaleh "retirement"
Started watching in the 90's and Ric Flair was washed up even then. Flabby old man who didn't look like much and had the same recycled lines. Guy tried to hold down all the top stars and play that political game
TruthTella2 ok you give an example of who held down and I will give examples of who he lifted up because I’ll tell ya you’re talking out your ass.... esp in the 90’s who the hell did he hold down
Oh you poor, poor chap. Majority of his time in WWE was spent putting guys over, and just think about this... 16 time HWChamp and 21-26 time champion over all. Now, consider the power given to everyone who took titles from him. Ric Flair holding people down? Insert facepalm here.
I think you’ve confused him with Hogan
TruthTella2 did a good job at it
Flair lost/put over nearly everyone he faced in the 1990's with his run in WCW. Sting,Vader, Hogan, Jericho, Savage, DDP, Booker T and the list keeps going. Flair is arguably the goat. Smh
Hulk Hogan > Ric Flair
Well...DDP "comin on" is the equivalent to the water slowly coming to a light boil before you put the pasta in. Everybody was so over in WCW at that point the janitor could have been pushed to the top as a babyface
I always considered Ric to be one of the greatest.
HOWEVER, my god. WTF is Ric's problem???? He buries so many guys in his book. He said some really dumb things about Bret. WTF is Flair's problem with DDP? The guy worked his ass off.
I wouldn't be surprised if he buried Pillman, considering that he never talked about him in his DVDs.
I was hoping Charlotte marries one of the younger Harts and has kids so that the two families Hart and Flair can unite forever, lol. I don't think that's ever happened in wrestling where two legendary families ever got married to each other. That's LITERALLY never happened before.
I scratch my head when people say ric flair is the GOAT here's a guy who had the same match night in night out for the whole of his career DDP was the hardest working guy in the business during the 90s I was disappointed when ric flair decided to bury DDP on one of his podcasts with garden gnome Mark Madden
Greg Forde your a idiot 20 years from now who will people remember? DDP? Hell no oh buy the way he's a yoga pitchman now what a legendary piece of shit.
So flair has fucked with DDP and Mick Foley??? The two nicest people in the business according to everyone else? Says alot about the man
You tell em' Deee Deeeeeee Peeeeeeeeeee
For all you wrestlers, the clicks, ETC.ETC. Really no one should be blocked or buried etc. If the fans take a liking to any wrestlers,, that's good for business. The more draws you have, the better. Good for pay per view, good for ratings, good for merchandise. /business as a whole. As far as the older draws. If they die off or start to die off. It doesn't mean it's over. You can take a once popular character and re-story line em. Maybe the guy works out more. Gets bigger, stronger. Maybe he gets mad and shows fight you thought was slipping or gone. You need good heels just as much as good baby faces. Tommy
DDME - asked about one guy and talks about himself instead.
Well there's plenty of stories about his shenanigans out of the ring so yeah it's probably true :p
I guess maybe it was Flair's personality maybe I don't know what made him so successful. He had no body far as toned up absolute zero and a typical Flair match was watching him do a flip into the turn belt nothing really exciting.
@King Yashua No, she's right.
Who cares how ric flair is he is the man that put wrestling on the map just like hogan, andre the giant, roddy piper, slaughter, and all the legends from the past
...yet Flair put you over in the 1990s. Hall and Nash weren't the only two who put you over, with all due respect.
ric is the best ever
Chris: Time to move on, dude. I think he had..like..an armlock.
Hammerlock
Does anyone like flair?
Flair in late 90s as the president of wcw was phenomenal.
Ric Flair is not some guy.... like Roman Reigns.
WebVMan: Meaning Flair isn't The Guy??
lots of politics stories in wrestling and yes Ric is of course the best ever
C.w.: Best ever meaning lowest snake?
it's amazing how many perfect individuals comment on a flawed man
THe E60 had it best from Paul (HHH) he is the ultimate con man. For as good as he was in the ring an put anyone over an made anyone look better... his life outside the ring..... he horrible parent and marrage skills.... and his inability to just be his real self is staggering. Was very sad.
HHH and Stephanie BOTH seem like legitimate real life pieces of shit; they're perfect for eachother. Too bad for their kids though.
@@TEMPLARBAGGINS Agree 1000% BOTH things can an I think ARE true in this case.
DDP isn't a pimple on flairs ass
Ric Flair is a legend no ones perfect so he had a spot of bother here and there but you cannot deny the impact he has had on Pro wrestling in his prime he put more asses in seats including mine than anyone . Jet flying Limousine riding Rolex wearing..........
Most people with drug and alcohol problems aren't easy to be around. Especially if they lived a brutal life as one of the most famous pro wrestlers. What do you people expect from the guy? He has his nice and mean moments like many famous men
Ric Flair tried fucking over a lot of people's careers and was running wcw into the ground. Plus his naked robe act for a man his age by that point in the 90s was pathetic.
I love how they put Bruno sammarbitcho in a greatest of....now there is your bitch...crying bc wrestling wasn't all super christiany and pg...well he got his wish and it all sucks now...plus he held belt for 25 yes bc there was only lame ass dudes back then...pit him vs the Rock...no contest...rock destroys that garbage
woooooo, henahd a hell of a career and a pretty hot daughter too so to you haters Whoooooooooooo
Funny how "NOBODY" likes FLAIR for the same reasons "EVEEYBODY" loved HOGAN....
JUST LIKE...
nobody likes HHH for the same reasons everyone loves HBK...
I DONT GET IT
sabotage you ddp? Rick got a lot of people over. Wow talk about haters.
michael truthson DDP is far from a hater, he put more guys over than Rick Flair. Wrestlers have nothing but respect and nice things to say about DDP so there must be some truth if the nicest wrestler in the world have something bad to say.
Ric Flair sucked! No one has ever said they were fans of Ric Flair. The only reason why he's around is because Triple H is his friend.
HAHAHAHAHAH SO MUCH WRONG WITH THIS, FUCKING MARK.
No one has ever said they were fans of Flair? Did you even exist in the 80's and early 90's?
Jacob Pickerin No one ever said Ric Flair was their favorite. Marks like you didn't even like him until he went to the WWE. Mark!
Shawn Rekiel I grew up watching wrestling b4 and during the Attitude Era. No one EVER said Ric Flair was their favorite. You're lying if you say he was your favorite.
Flair's my dad all time favorite. Me personally I wasn't around during Flair's prime but I find it hard to believe that he was boring to watch when he literally was the biggest draw in wrestling in his era. Back to back sold out arenas why? Because Flair's mane was on the Marquee. Plus anyway who worked with Flair became a bigger star afterwards, so I'm confused on what it is your saying.
DDP you will ne ever were flair shoes Whoo. whoo
Maurice Bigby Thank god DDP isn't
well they're both in the hall of fame so...
Maurice Bigby I know ddp is a much better role model and human Ric flair is a POS human who can't smack talk on a mic and do "wrestling" moves ohhhh. Smh
Wear*
Flair is a flabby, dementia ridden blob of wax...
Flare was never that good of a Ressler don't know how even got to the top they say it's not who you know its who you blow off and wondered about that
Donald Massaro if you watched his early work especially with Dusty than you would understand. He is a genius with in ring psychology and promo work. There is a reason that he is considered a living legend. As a person it’s mixed but even at that people who hate him still respect him.
DDP????😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂👎
ddp was a joke. he's not qualified to even mention flairs name!
DDP saved Jake Roberts and Scott Hall's lives. Do some research.
I cant stand page at all
ben ashworth why not? Because he doesn't like your hero Ric flair ask anyone who knows ddp and they will all say the same thing great work ethic caring and all around nice guy all about helping others just ask Scott hall thank you ddp.
Who fuck is DDP again? Like seriously this guy was a complete jobber, thats all....he made it when the industry itself wasnt what it once was.
Hall of famer? How the fuck did that happen!?
Iron Man Wasn't what it once was? You mean when Goldberg and Austin were on the Tonight Show? When ticket sales, merchandise sales, and mainstream acceptance were higher than at any other point in history? The era that is generally considered the greatest in pro wrestling history?
Just FYI, that's the era when DDP got over.
Austin and goldberg?? Who the fuck were those wannabes....go home boy your drunk of mothers milk
Iron Man You're*
You revealed yourself as a troll too soon. You need improvement.
Better be respected as a person than as a wrestler! DDP is respected all around by all his peers for being a Class Act human being!
Everyone gets inducted into the WWE hall of fame eventually even president Donald Trump got in the WWE hall of fame the adjective means noting anymore seems like a Joke now.
